Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–13: Satan tempted Jesus

In this section, Luke wrote that the devil (Satan) tempted Jesus, that is, the devil tried to persuade Jesus to do things that God did not want Jesus to do. Luke told about three of those things. Jesus did not do any of the things that the devil suggested. He refused the devil and his temptations by quoting the word of God from the book of Deuteronomy.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

The Temptation of Jesus

Jesus Is Tempted by the Devil (NCV)

There is a parallel passage for this section in Matthew 4:1–11, and a shorter version occurs in Mark 1:12–13.

4:13a

When the devil had finished every temptation,

¶ After the devil had finished tempting Jesus in every possible way, (GW)
¶ After Satan had completed/finished all these temptations,
¶ After the devil had finished testing Jesus in every way possible, (CEV)

When the devil had finished every temptation: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates literally as every temptation means that the devil had tried every kind of temptation during Jesus’ forty days in the wilderness. He had probably tried more than the three temptations Luke listed here.

Some other ways to translate this are:

After the devil had finished tempting Jesus in every possible way (GW)

After the devil had finished testing Jesus in every way possible (CEV)

temptation: The Greek word that the BSB translates as temptation is the noun form of the verb that the BSB translates as “put to the test” in 4:12b. Some other ways to translate this word are:

tempting (NIV)

tests

testing

4:13b

he left Him until an opportune time.

he left him until he had another chance/opportunity.
he went away from Jesus to wait until a better time to tempt him again.

he left Him: The phrase he left Him means “the devil left Jesus.” The devil went away and stopped bothering Jesus for a while.

until an opportune time: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as until an opportune time is literally “until a time/season.” There are two ways to interpret this phrase:

It means until Satan found a good/suitable time. For example:
until a better time (NCV) (BSB, NIV, RSV, NET, NJB, NASB, ESV, NLT, NCV)
It means for a short time. For example:
for a while (GNT) (CEV, GNT, KJV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1).

Much of Jesus’ public ministry took place in the province of Galilee. Luke described this part of Jesus’ ministry in 4:14–9:50. Jesus began his work in Nazareth, went on to the town of Capernaum, and then spread his message throughout the region. He did many miracles and taught many things. Jesus often used parables when he taught the people. He showed clearly that God had given him power and authority. Even though Jesus so amazed the people that they praised God, many of the religious leaders began to oppose him. As Jesus was ending his ministry in Galilee, he foretold that he would be killed and come back to life.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

συντελέσας πάντα πειρασμὸν

˓having˒_completed (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί συντελέσας παντᾶ πειρασμόν ὁ διάβολος ἀπέστη ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἄχρι καιροῦ)

This does not imply that the devil was successful in his temptation. Jesus resisted every attempt. You can state this clearly. Alternate translation: [after the devil had repeatedly failed to persuade Jesus to sin]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἄχρι καιροῦ

until ˓a˒_season

New Testament Greek had two words for time. The first referred to chronological time, that is, the passage of time. The second word referred to the right time to do something. ULT is using the phrase an opportune time to translate that second word. If your language makes this same distinction, use the corresponding word in your own translation. Alternate translation: [until the time was right to try again]
